Strength in numbers?

Hello hello!

Sorry I have been slacking. We've been really busy, and had company this past week... so, that's my excuse. Deal with it ;)

So, I am happy to say that (when I was supposed to update on Wednesday) my loss has grown to 15.6 lbs! Woohoo.

Now for the confusing part, because isn't there always a confusing part?

I was talking to a friend the other day and we were talking abut our "diets" and our calorie intake and she was literally astonished at how little I was eating a day, which I thought was normal for my activity level.. She is also a Beach Body user, and she directed me to the "calorie intake" portion of their website where I input all of my information and activity level and blah blah blah and it showed me that I needed to DOUBLE my calorie intake. My first thought was, "that will never happen, I can barely eat what I eat now." but I decided to give it a try. 

After the first couple days I felt amazing and would sneak  little peeks on the scale and see little ounces dropping off.. but then I started to feel similar to how I felt before I started this get fit thing. (Keep in mind I can't even come CLOSE to the doubling of my calories, I probably eat about 300 more a day than I was before) So, I started to get worried because I don't like that feeling. I've noticed that I've been adding ounces instead of steadily dropping them like I have been the past two months.. so, I don't know if this is my body adjusting to not "starving" or what, but it's making me a little uneasy. I am going to give it a little longer to see if things change. If anyone has any information or advice on this, I would really appreciate it! I am super confused and feel at a loss.

In other news, I'm in my second month of TF and after next month I am going to start a new program. I can't decide if I want to try P90X or Insanity. I need to also make time to train for a 5k. I'm a little nervous about running my first 5k, but I am a little excited because we are doing "Run For Your Lives" which is no regular 5k. It's a ZOMBIE INFESTED 5K! I am very excited about this!! 

So, yeah. that's about all for now.

I'll keep you updated! Thanks for all the views and encouragement!
